Rashmika Mandanna praises Kriti Sanon, requests comment to be censored later
Mumbai, May 18
Actress Rashmika Mandanna, on Sunday night, left the media and her 'Cocktail 2' co-stars Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in splits during a song launch event at a popular five-star hotel in Mumbai.
The actress couldn't control her laugh after she accidentally went overboard with her choice of words, further using an expletive word, while praising Kriti Sanon's beauty and screen presence.
Speaking about 'Cocktail 2' in front of the media, and the chemistry audiences will witness in the film, Rashmika said, "But something in 'Cocktail 2' is just so different. You look hot, like the world knows... and you are f***ing hot."
The moment Rashmika realised what she had just said in front of the media, she instantly tried to censor herself and said, "Oh sorry... no! No! Sorry!"
As the room along with Shahid and Kriti, into laughter, trying to recover from the hilarious moment, Rashmika continued, "She's amazing... I am sorry. Look at her... okay, I should leave. There's just too much love happening."
She further added, "We know the chemistry that Shahid and Kriti share, but there's something in 'Cocktail 2' which is so different, so magical... and when we saw the glimpses of 'Maashuka' we got a peek of it. I just know this is just the tip of the iceberg because every scene that I've heard of is just spectacular."
The entire fun exchange happened during a recent meet-and-greet session with the media in Mumbai ahead of 'Cocktail 2's release.
Talking about the movie, 'Cocktail 2' has been directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films.
The film stars Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna in pivotal roles. The film is a sequel to the 2012 romantic drama 'Cocktail', which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty.

Indian media making a mountain out of a molehill as usual. She said one little word by accident and they're treating it like a national scandal. Let's focus on the film instead!
Actually it was pretty awkward but cute in a way 😄 Rashmika's Hindi expressions are always so endearing. And Kriti handled it like a pro. Cocktail 2 is going to be a blockbuster!
Why is this even news? Just two friends joking around. But happy to see women supporting women in Bollywood instead of the usual catfights. Thoda sa appreciation toh banta hai! 👏
Honestly, the way she immediately apologized and tried to cover it shows she's a decent person. Not everyone can laugh at their own mistakes like that. More power to her!
Love how Shahid and Kriti were laughing - shows they all have great chemistry off-screen too. Can't wait to see the 'Mashuka' song! Hope the movie does justice to the original Cocktail.
As an NRI, I find this hilarious but also very Indian - the way she tries to backtrack and then just doubles down with compliments. Pure entertainment! Bollywood needs more such unscripted moments.
